The rumor ignited the Catalan media on Monday morning. According to The Team, a meeting was scheduled for Monday to test the waters in the event of the arrival of Kylian Mbappé. After the euphoria has descended in Catalonia, it is time to return to reality. While this news seemed incredible to say the least, Sport disclosed at the end of the afternoon Barça’s position which is clear to say the least: the PSG striker does not fit into their plans.
According to the Iberian media, the Catalan board woke up surprised this morning when he saw the information. He also thinks that the information was transmitted by the Parisian leaders to The Team, wondering about the proximity between the two entities. Within the FC Barcelona board of directors, it is believed that the club’s name was used in order to pressure Real Madrid into drawing a big offer from Los Blancos. Regardless of whether this scheme is proven or not, PSG have already accepted an offer of 300 million from Al-Hilal. Whether Real Madrid will be able to match that record amount remains to be seen.
